Hello again! See? What did I tell you? I told you that I was going to post the next chapter! I think this one keeps you in suspense (especially in the end :D) I have to add some Sango and Miroku scenes, since they are heading towards the castle! Well, here is this chapter, and please enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, but I own my story!
"Kirara, you can rest for now." She nodded and landed down into the depths of a forest. Miroku jumped off and stretched his back. Sango jumped off, with Shippo in her arms, and sat down onto the cold ground.
"Sango, we can go right now." She shook her head, looking at her feline friend.
"No. She is exhausted right now, so I think we should wait until morning." She smiled, and looked at him. He nodded, and stood up.
"I'll go gather some firewood, and prepare a fire for you all." Sango smiled and Shippo followed.
"I'll come too! I need to help out too, ya know." Miroku nodded, and they ventured out into the forest.
"Kirara, when do you think they'll be back?" Kirara purred, and Sango petted her, smiling. She kept petting her companion until she heard footsteps coming her way. She grabbed her boomerang and held her position. She noticed the clothing on the person and backed down.
"Luckily we found some extra wood lying around," Miroku looked up and saw her about to attack him! "Sango? Is everything okay?" She nodded and sat back down.
"I thought I felt a demon, but it was only Shippo." She smiled, and Shippo smiled.
"Am I becoming a good demon?"
"Of course, Shippo! You always have been!" His smile widened and he placed the firewood on the ground. He gathered the firewood up, and began a fire. She watched the flames fly into the sky, and saw Kagome, in it. She began to tear up, and felt a tear fall.
"Sango, why are you crying?" She looked up and stared at Miroku. She shook her head and jumped into his arms.
"I miss her so much, Miroku!" She cried into his clothing. Shippo stared into the fire, and sighed.
"It's okay Sango. We will see her shortly." He sat down and held onto her, as she cried herself to sleep, and let the guys watch the fire for her.
Oh no… the footsteps are getting louder! Kagome stood there, not moving at all. At least I am able to breathe. She sighed and kept staring at the door, listening to the footsteps. Then, she heard nothing.
"Sesshoumaru?" She whispered. She put her ear to the door, and heard nothing in there. She shrugged, and kept looking at the door. Maybe he forgot something or whatever. She heard the doorknob creak to the left, and saw it turning. Oh no! He is opening the door!
The door slit open, with a golden eye looking out of it. She looked back into it, and smiled. "You told me to come!" The eye wandered up and down her body. Such beauty… And thus, I come back for the kill! Look at her! She is just a beautiful being! Open the door and let her in, idiot! He opened the door more, revealing himself and his room.
"Come in." He walked back into his room, as she stared into it. It was so huge! There was a huge bed that was draped in a canopy. The walls were a dark purple color, in which she didn't expect that. The floors were hard, and the tables were made of stones. She stepped into the room, only to find a window right in front of her. It covered practically the whole wall, and had a balcony attached to it. I could sit out there and think! Or you could stand with him and be… oh, I don't know… lovers? MATES?
She sighed and kept walking into the room. He stopped at his bed and sat down on it. She stopped in front of him, a couple of feet away. She kept looking around the room, trying to get used to it. I wonder if he lets a lot of people in here. You are the special one! She looked at Sesshoumaru, and saw his pair of golden eyes looking at her.
"Sesshoumaru, is there something wrong with my dress?" He kept looking at her, and she was getting a little creeped out. What if he is checking me out, to see if I am good enough for him? Even better! "Or are you annoyed by me?"
"Neither." Her eyes widened, and looked at the ground, blushing. Man his voice is just… Beautiful? Well, yes, but more than that. She noticed him slyly stand up from the bed, and she looked at him. She kept seeing him glance off into a direction of a painting. She looked at it, and saw it was a demon.
She walked up to it and saw something engraved in it. She squinted her eyes and read, Howl at the Moon; Whisper in the Breeze; Wielding three swords soon; For one more last Squeeze. She questioned the quote in her mind, not getting it. "Who is this? And," pointing at the engraved marks. "what does this mean?" He stood there, looking at the painting, but mainly looking at her.
"That is my father, and the quote is his." She nodded and turned around. She noticed those golden eyes fixed on her, making her blush again. "Do not hide." She looked away, and walked around the room. He followed her with his eyes, and she kept walking.
"I am not. But, Sesshoumaru, I think you shouldn't hide. I mean, you were the one that called me here. Which reminds me. Why did you want me here tonight?" Kagome turned around and faced him. He took a step towards her, and kept walking, noticing her not running, or backing away.
"Something is bothersome." She kept looking at him, trying to figure out if it was her. Is he bothered by me? No! He said he wasn't! He is bothered by you for loving you! Hmph. Like this guy will tell me that. He will! I feel it from here! He stopped walking towards her, just a foot away.
"You can tell me if it really bothers you! Or, you can keep it inside and…" She was cut off by his voice.
"It wants out." She closed her mouth and began to think. What if is like, anger or something? Please! He wouldn't take his anger out on you! She nodded and agreed with him. Sometimes, people need to vent something, no matter what it is.
"Well, you can tell me if you want to. Otherwise, you can tell one of your servants." She smiled, but he kept staring at her, not budging. Kagome began to feel uneasy, so looked around the room more.
"It involves you." She stopped looking around, and looked back at him. He was staring at her, and she was looking into him. She felt anguish, but also passion within him. Only a slight hint of sadness came through, but what shocked her was much… happiness.
"Are you happy about this?" She stepped towards him, and he stepped towards her. They still weren't intertwined, but they were close. She felt the heat radiate from his body, and he felt sweat come down onto his floor.
"Perhaps." He stepped even closer to her, and she stepped closer to him. Their noses touched each other, and their bodies were even closer than before. She closed her eyes, and smiled. She opened them again, and felt an arm push her up against his body. She kept staring up at his face, and saw him leaning in, eyes closed. She leaned in with him, but felt the sensation of Shikon Jewel Shards.
His eyes opened and turned his head towards his window. She looked with him, and kept feeling the shards getting closer and closer. "Shards. Something is coming with shards." She whispered, and he nodded. He reluctantly let her go, and stood in front of her.
"It's him." His nose twitched, and his eyes flashed red for a brief moment. He looked at Kagome. "Stay back." She nodded and stepped back. I hope he doesn't mean… I think he does! That man won't give up! She sighed and kept looking out the window. She saw the figure jump into the air and break through the window, bringing much wind with it. She covered her face, protecting it from the glass and wind. She felt the wind die down, and looked up.
Her eyes widened onto the figure. "Koga? You're back?" He nodded.
"Yeah, and I am taking you with me, mate!" He began to run after her, and she shut her eyes, waiting for something to grab her. She didn't feel anything come right then, and she opened her eyes. She saw Sesshoumaru holding him back with one arm, growling.
Okay! That is the end of the chapter! What'll happen to Koga? What was that little spark between Kagome and Sesshoumaru! And when is Miroku and Sango going to arrive? Wow... that sounds like a commercial thing XD But, I'll see you (well not really see you) in the next chapter! Ja ne!
